Amplifon Response
8yWOW, THAT HURTS...! "Siloed business units"; "terrible senior leadership"; "terrible IT"; "dishonest HR"; "no strategy"; "horrible for growth" and "terrible financial practices"... that is BAD feedback all around and comes to show that even companies with a terrific growth record and 'best employer of the year' awards can - and, perhaps, even should - have truly critical team members inside! Thank you for speaking up! This type of feedback companies mostly get from involuntary leavers, whilst in your case, I am happy to see, YOU ARE STILL WITH US (despite - allow me to say - being a little surprised that you did not decide to leave AMPLIFON yet, considering you believe people would be "wasting their time" with AMPLIFON) and, I hope, this is because of the rewarding overall nature of our business, i.e. to "give the gift of sound back to thousands of people every year" and you having some HOPE & TRUST that things will improve for you personally, in future. In fact, even though MY personal opinion is that your feedback is not a true reflection of what most people feel at AMPLIFON, it is people like you who are very critical and are having very bad experiences, that can make us aware of things we may not have realized yet. Strength through diversity! So, if you have the courage, I invite you to see me at any time (you know my door is always open) and share your specific concerns in confidence. If you feel uncomfortable with that, I invite you leave me an anonymous letter, on my desk, in which you share the details and backgrounds of your bad experiences. We need to know things, to be able to deal with things. As your CEO, I take your feedback very seriously (which is why I am responding, personally), so give me the opportunity to understand better. Yours, Marc
